Cyberpunk 2077 - from Witcher devs

I'm playing flawlessly on a 2080ti. I'm still loving practically every damn second. It has totally sunk its hooks in. I just got Skippy the talking gun and couldn't be happier.

The game runs basically OK on my 1080, but the framerate leaves a bit to be desired.

Overall the gameplay is good.  It feels like the best parts of Fallout and Borderlands mashed together.  Enemies can be a little bullet spongey, but if you get headshots or close-up buckshot they drop like rocks.

To be honest I'm not a fan of the severe case of "console-itis" this game suffers from on PC.  You can carry a vast assortment of weapons, which you can swap in and out of the first 1-3 weapon numbers no problem (even in the middle of combat), but for some reason you can't bind the 5-9 keys to actually utilize more than three guns or melee weapons (and your fists always taking up slot 4, which you frustratingly can't switch out with an actual melee weapon).  This is clearly designed with a D-pad in mind, but there's no reason for this limitation to exist on PC.  I'm finding myself limited to either a melee weapon + pistol + shotgun, or melee weapon + rifle + shotgun combo.  That you can pause and switch these weapons out in combat leads me to believe it's not an intended design decision to limit your weapon selection, but an oversight of the PC port.

Also, I'm finding it very obnoxious how the R key is bound to "swap your weapon for the weapon on the ground" in addition to reload.  Who the hell came up with this and who didn't catch this in QA?  It feels like every other damn firefight I'm going to my inventory and switching out some garbage I grabbed off the ground and re-equipping my superior prior weapon.

I'm 18 hours in and still only about 25% through the main story. The game is just f*cking great. it starts off a little slow and in the beginning your character is weak, but once you level him/her up and get access to better weapons and mods, everything improves - Combat, movement, driving, etc. I'm really having a total blast.

The story is great, the writing is good, it runs and looks great for me. I really do not understand the complaints that do not relate to technical issues, which are, obviously very severe for some.

The only thing I do not like is Keanu Reeves...I mean, his character...the whole "rock-n-roll, anti-capitalist, terrorist" is just absurd.

Maybe he can be modded out of game ...

Exactly the same for me. Unless there is going to be some kind of mind blowing reveal about him I find him totally useless as a character type.
The idea of his digital soul getting intertwined with yours is totally fitting for a Cyberpunk setting and it provides the classic 'what does it mean to live' discussion, but the choice of who he is doesn't float with me so far.

I like having Keanu Reeves as my buddy. I honestly thought he was just gonna be a cameo.

Found this comparison on Reddit, but this is one of the very few games that actually looks better in retail than the E3 demo.

This has been pulled from the PlayStation Store apparently.

Seems as if either Steam doesn't care about the issues or the PC version doesn't have the same issues - it's still on sale there.

I don't know if the store pulling applies to PS5, but the game is practically broken on last-gen consoles.  PS4 and Xbox1 are apparently, quite literally, unplayably broken, but the game works fine on current gen, from what I understand.

[Gusington]

I've read the same thing. Lots of issues on PC but no game breaking ones. Unplayable on older consoles.

[Jarhead0331]

There is no way the PC version has the same issues. I'm loving the game. Absolutely loving it. There are a few graphical anomalies from time to time, but nothing out of the ordinary for a world of this complexity and size. As far as the PC is concerned, I seriously do not understand all the rage.

I would say 90% of the mistake CDPR made was trying to make this playable on what is now last gen tech.

It caused some of the delays and low and behold now they are seeing global refunds. If they concentrated on PC for launch and ported it to next gen consoles say early 2021 I think they would have been in much better shape.

I have zero issues with this game with my 9900k and RTX 2080 Ti.  I know those are ridiculous specs but yeah, the game is kinda made to run on that tech.

This thing has no business being on any console.  I can't even comprehend how they can handle it.

[JudgeDredd]

Well if the issues that I've heard about are seemingly not wholly manifesting themselves on PC, I see no reason not to jump in.
